And then there were two

My oldest (but not old) dog passed away over the weekend. It was sudden, and it happened fast. Within 2 hours of her getting sick, and in under 45 minutes of arriving at the emergency animal hospital, she died. We cried ourselves to sleep on the couch together that night. I am in shock, and beyond heartbroken, and just so, so, so sad. My big beautiful gentle giant baby is gone.

She is the second dog in my adult life I have lost. I miscarried and lost my first dog at the same time, so pet loss is especially traumatic for me, as I relive some of the worst times of my life. That is where I have been living the past couple of days.

Rest In Peace, my sweet, beautiful Karma. I love you.

  1. Oh no I'm so sorry- especially with a sudden and unexpected death. Pets are part of our family and it is always a terrible loss.

  2. Oh, Charlotte, I'm so very sorry. She looks so sweet in that picture. There really is no easy death of a pet, but a sudden unexpected goodbye like that is heartwrenchingly awful. I'm sorry I'm late to offering my condolences.
